4 December 2018

Dear colleague

TUPE TRANSFER OF LNER FLEET ENGINEERING STAFF TO HITACHI RAIL EUROPE

The referendum on the company’s proposals has concluded and the result is as follows:

Are you prepared to accept the company’s offer?

Total votes cast 160
Number voting YES 106
Number voting NO 54
Spoilt papers 0

Your National Executive Committee has noted the result and instructed me to inform the company of our acceptance of the proposals.

The NEC also instructed me to seek a meeting with the company to include your representatives and Assistant General Secretary Mick Lynch in order to create and industrial relations framework and to address the on-going issues now that the TUPE transfer arrangements have been addressed.

I will of course keep you advised of further developments which arise from these discussions. In the meantime, I would like to thank you for supporting your union throughout what was undoubtedly a period of concern for you and your colleagues.

Yours sincerely

Mick Cash
General Secretary
